Preaching
their professional prejudicial creed
from behind the well-designed guise of 'anti-racist' crusaders
a righteous newfangled breed
of impeccably credentialed race-baiters

decried color-blindness
as something that by its very nature
was not only wholly unattainable
but was nothing but a song and dance
to cover for latent racism

while intimating that on the basis
of their hyper-enlightened stance
their being appreciably racist
was quite simply something
they simply couldn't be

unlike we the great unwashed
who no matter what we'd done
or said or thought or faced
were innately racist or not
based solely on our race

which — according to our lordly
gloriously morally superior
thought-and-speech-policing/directing
the content of their character-rejecting
pigment-obsessed brightest and best —

we certainly were
if we happened to be 'white'
as sure as we were either much less
or not in the slightest
if we happened to be anything else.

In spite of what our expertly divisive
narrative handlers assume and assert
is something self-evidently true

I've never met a person
who was either black or white
— and I'd wager as much as you'd like
that neither have you —

since despite the loads of tripe
you've been fed your whole life
it's undeniably indisputably true
that there are in fact
no such black or white things

— only innumerable hues
in shades of brown and beige and pink
on our magical wrap-around skins.
